the clay factory

The Clay Factory originally started life as a china clay works at the turn of the 1900’s – the clay was pumped down to the site from Dartmoor for drying and processing before being transported by train for production. No longer commercially viable, the clay works closed shop in the early 1930’s. The next company to take up residence was the tractor engineering firm Western Machinery who were so impactful that The Clay Factory is still known in the local community as the ‘Western Machinery building’ or Westmac. After Western Machinery closed it doors the site was broken up into smaller units for various industrial uses. After many years of under use, the section now known as The Clay Factory was officially taken over by RedPod Enterprises in 2016 when we launched our ambitious plan to set the building at the heart of the community once again.

taleblazers

Taleblazers is a Community Interest Company that celebrates the stories of Devon and Dartmoor. We do this by researching tales from our region, rewriting them into original works and performing them as ballads or folk poems. Oral storytelling is an art we are passionate about preserving and we aim to engage young people in particular by involving them in writing and performance. We offer workshops in a variety of educational areas (heritage, natural history, ecology) to schools and historic sites and our workshops are tailored to locations to make them as relevant as possible to the groups we work with. As part of the research and writing process, we get involved with local heritage projects and promote the heritage and folklore of the areas we work in. We believe we can ‘Change the Story, Change the World’ and this philosophy informs our work with young people with additional needs. We operate a number of alternative education programmes based around the natural work, arts and outdoor skills, helping to develop social skills, mental health, resilience and vocational skills.

glassenamels

I have been working professionally as a glass artist since 2002, having previously completed a glass degree at the University of Wolverhampton. From my studio near Totnes in South Devon, I design and produce fused glasswork for homes, hotels, hospitals and commercial spaces. I have for many years been supplying glass splashbacks to John Lewis, with an exclusive collection of designs. I have always used enamel powders to colour my glass, rather than working with pre-coloured sheets. The use of the very fine powders enables me to create unique shading and rich textures and patterns, which cannot be achieved by any other method. At my spacious studio I run regular glass fusing classes which are suitable for all abilities. I am a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and the Crafts Council Directory, and in 2010 was awarded the Gold Prize for Glass in the 'craft&design' Magazine Selected Maker Awards. I am also a member of ACID (Anti Copying in Design) who have helped me to protect my unique glass designs from being copied.

gail lucas brumby

I am a Therapeutic massage therapist with 38 years' experience working from Fremington, in Devon. I originally trained as a nurse and worked in both General and Psychiatric nursing! One of the best decisions of my life, was to beg and borrow the money to train as a massage therapist in London. and here I am, still passionately enjoying my treatments. I work closely with the NHS and other allied therapists and have my clinic in Fremington. I specialise in all massage disciplines. I can do a firm Remedial or Sports Massage and have released tension and spasms in several Olympic athletes as well as military staff and Formula One drivers. For me, massage keeps body and soul together and without that regular M.O.T to destress and release tension and pain throughout the body, I would certainly not be able to continue enjoying such a healthy lifestyle and living the dream. My clientele tends to be a variety of adults of all ages who enjoy a therapeutic treatment to improve their mobility and release aches and pains. A treatment to keep them moving, as well as young athletes who want a Deep Tissue or Sports massage to rectify a specific issue. I am also a clinical Aromatherapist and have used my oils to treat numerus conditions as well as detoxifying, uplifting and relaxing thousands of clients over the years. I have referrals from the medical professionals, chiropractors, and Osteopaths and if you want to have an informal chat about whether my treatments can help you, then please give me a ring.

step into learning

V Learning Network is a charitable company originally set up in 2001 as the lead of a consortium created to deliver adult and young people mainstream funded education. The consortium was made up of independent training providers in the Third Sector throughout Devon and Cornwall. In August 2021, due to some changes in funding, the nature and focus of the company shifted slightly. We are used to working in a proactive and agile way so have been able to adapt, evolve and innovate, and continue to do so. To fit the growing needs of the business and to strengthen our brand identity, we have changed the company name to V Learning Network trading as Step into Learning – Step Into Learning will be the sole, public facing name used across all our touchpoints going forwards. We still offer young people mainstream funded education and we currently work with three charities and Community Interest Groups (The Outdoor Place, Transferable Skills Training, Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change), enabling them to deliver high quality training by providing sustainable funding. The funding allows our partners to offer a range of training opportunities and deliver quality programmes within Cornwall. Step Into Learning also delivers quality, in-house training, projects and services via its own training division. Step Into Learning is based in Launceston, Cornwall, however, our reach extends much further. We offer training across Devon and Cornwall and have the scope to cover any geographical location due to our flexible delivery – face to face, blended learning (mix of face to face and online) and online. Step Into Learning specialise in working with learners looking to open up new career pathways, or those looking to get back into work. We are committed to giving back to our local community: * SILC is our counselling service providing free, confidential counselling for the Launceston community. * Our community larder for Launceston opened in May 2022. The focus of the community larder is reducing food waste and giving local people access to nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste.
